Since Crowe submitted a transfer request to Manchester United and has yet to be seen back in the team, many United fans have lost the star by default. It is rumored that some fans who have purchased Crow's jersey have even gone to the official United store to ask for a refund, a move that puts United at risk of potentially losing tens of thousands of pounds.
Although Crow has clearly expressed the will to leave the team, but Manchester United's new jersey publicity is still Crow as the protagonist, especially after the departure of Paul Pogba, Crow has become the pillar of the team's image. Many fans even customized Crow's No. 7 jersey, but with Crow not returning to the team for a long time, the patience of the fans is gradually exhausted. Sources close to the matter have told British media that many customers have gone to Manchester United's flagship store to ask if they can get a refund or a replacement shirt if Crow leaves the team.
Manchester United had implemented a similar refund policy when Crow joined the club, when Crow replaced Cavani's No. 7 jersey, and United immediately offered fans who had purchased Cavani's jersey the option of a refund or replacement. However, sources close to the situation pointed out that the practice was very proper that year and was not disrespectful to Cavani; in fact, the impact of refunding for Crow's jersey and Cavani's is on a completely different level. It is reported that United could lose hundreds of thousands of pounds in revenue if they adopt last year's strategy again.
